The book is wonderful as a whole. I like the content andenjoy the book. However the wording is confusing. She writes in circles making me reread what I read before to figure out what is happening. I would not suggest this book to an other high school student. No college student either for that matter. This is the kind of book you read when you have time to sctarch you head and say "What the...?" then reread it again. I will read it again and maybe the third time is the charm?

This book combined history, romance, adventure and myth. The story is very well written and is definatly well researched. This is probably one of the best books I've read in a long time. It's a must read.

I read this book 7-8 years ago, and I have never forgotten it. Some of the images still linger in my mind, and they were rekindled recently on a month-long trip to Turkey. While there, I visited many of the historical places(even the underground city) and had a fantastic time imagining what it was like to live there. I can understand why the author chose to wrote about such an enchanting era and place. And I loved how the author wove in a powerful mysticism that veiled the female character and turned a history-based tale into something of a love story in the end.

I am now looking up the book to read again, as I have lost my copy in all my moves and travels.

I thought it was a wonderful read, and I highly recommend it.
